LG ThinQ Devices integration for HomeAssistant
A HomeAssistant custom integration to monitor and control LG devices using ThinQ API based on WideQ project.
Supported devices are:
- Air Conditioner
- Air Purifier
- Dehumidifier
- DishWasher
- Dryer
- Fan
- Range
- Refrigerator
- Styler
- Washer
Important Version note:
- From version 0.3.x component name changed from
smartthinq_washer
tosmartthinq_sensors
If you are upgrading to version 0.3.x from previous version, you must remove component configuration and uninstall component from Home Assistant before upgrade.
Important: The component will not work if you have logged into the ThinQ application and registered your devices using a social network account (Google, Facebook or Amazon). In order to use the component you need to create a new independent LG account and make sure you log into the ThinQ app and associate your devices with it. If during configuration you receive the message "No SmartThinQ devices found", probably your devices are still associated with the social network account. To solve the problem perform the following step:
- remove your devices from the ThinQ app
- logout from the app and login again with the independent LG account
- reconnect the devices in the app
Important 2: If you receive an "Invalid Credential" error during component configuration/startup, check in the LG mobile app if is requested to accept new Term Of Service.
Note: some device status may not be correctly detected, this depends on the model. I'm working to map all possible status developing the component in a way to allow to configure model option in the simplest possible way and provide update using Pull Requests. I will provide a guide on how update this information.
Installation
You can install this component in two ways: via HACS or manually.
Option A: Installing via HACS
If you have HACS, just go in the Integration Tab and search the "SmartThinQ LGE Sensors" component to install it.
Option B: Manually installation (custom_component)
Prerequisite: SSH into your server. Home Assistant Add-on: SSH server
-
Clone the git master branch.
git clone https://github.com/ollo69/ha-smartthinq-sensors.git
-
If missing, create a
custom_components
directory where your configuration.yaml file resides. This is usually in the config directory of homeassistant.
mkdir ~/.homeassistant/custom_components
-
Copy the smartthinq_sensors directory within the
custom_components
directory of your homeassistant installation from step 2.
cp -R ha-smartthinq-sensors/custom_components/smartthinq_sensors/ ~/.homeassistant/custom_components
-
(Optional) Delete the git repo.
rm -R ha-smartthinq-sensors/
After a correct installation, your configuration directory should look like the following.
└── ... └── configuration.yaml └── secrects.yaml └── custom_components └── smartthinq_sensors └── __init__.py └── config_flow.py └── const.py └── ...
-
Reboot HomeAssistant
Component configuration
Once the component has been installed, you need to configure it using the web interface in order to make it work.
- Go to "Settings->Devices & Services".
- Hit shift-reload in your browser (this is important!).
- Click "+ Add Integration".
- Search for "SmartThinQ LGE Sensors"
- Select the integration and Follow setup worflow
Important: use your country and language code: SmartThinQ accounts are associated with a specific locale,
so be sure to use the country and language you originally created your account with.
Reference for valid code:
- Country code: ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code
- Language code: ISO 639-1 code

Examples (washer/dryer)
- Get a notification when the clothes are done drying (or when the clothes are done washing, automation)
- id: 'dry_clothes_notification'
alias: Dry clothes notification

Be nice!
If you like the component, why don't you support me by buying me a coffee? It would certainly motivate me to further improve this work.
